Demonstration for the freedom of political prisoners in Hamburg (FRG)

We document a report on a demonstration in Hamburg we received.

On the 12th of March a demonstration for
the freedom for political prisoners took place in Hamburg. A special
focus of the demonstration was the freedom for the Turkish revolutionary
Musa Aşoğlu who was arrested and incarcerated in December last year,
while at the same time there was a hate campaign by the local bourgeois
media. At the demonstration mainly Turkish and German revolutionaries
demanded his immediate release. The demonstration ended in front of the
prison where Musa Aşoğlu is held.

In internationalist spirit also the
freedom for Professor Saibaba was demanded who was sentenced for life in
India a few days before for alleged links to the Communist Party of
India (Maoist) . The demonstration was was an example for the connection
of revolutionaries all over the world and that the struggle for the
freedom of the political prisoners is connected worldwide, what is
recognised formally by many but shown in practice very rarely. What
makes this demonstration all the more important.
